It is sad to see heritage vessels scrapped. I have the wheel house of the Lyttleton II and I am hoping one day it can be used as part of a maritime display. If anyone is interested in it (for a small donation) please contact me. I will not let it go for the wood it has to go for what it is Sometimes money alone is not enough to save an historic vessel.

She was the last ship to go on the slipway as the site has now been cleared for developers. The slipway the Lyttelton is on is at Rippleside in Geelong, down the bay from Melbourne.

My father was on the delivery crew from Westport NZ to Sydney. He worked as a fire stoker. He told me stories of the trip across and the weather that was encountered. How they lost alot of bunkers during rough seas and having to resort to burning deck planking to power her to Sydney. Such a shame for a graceful vessel, Like my father may she rest in peace. Hello.
